About this map

Benton Bench dominates the central topography of this Montana landscape, a broad plateau rising above the surrounding river valleys during the mid-1980s. The northern edge of the map is defined by the winding course of the Dry Fork Marias River, while the southern reaches are marked by the deep incision of Pondera Coulee. The small settlement of Manson sits near the northeastern corner, positioned near a series of gravel operations and the river fork. This provisional survey captures the region's agricultural and industrial character, noting an Oil Field in the southwest and several Radio Towers atop the high ground. The presence of a Spoil Bank and Conrad Reservoir indicates the modified hydrology of the area, where natural drainages like Creek and Spring are managed alongside human-made infrastructure on the high plains of Pondera County.
